  • "Almost Famous" [NASCAR Series, Book 2] by Gina Wilkins

    My Teaser:
    All she needed was to have some reporter show up on the front porch of her hideout, hoping for a filler feature story for a slow news day.
    It wasn't as if there was anything left to write about her, she thought grumpily, but that had never stopped the local newshounds before. ~ within Chapter 1

    Made the Grade: A Bride for All Seasons Series, Book 1

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 528 KB | Release Date: February 2009 | Publisher: Harlequin Books

    "The Bride's Baby" [A Bride for All Seasons Series, Book 1] by Liz Fielding

    My Book Summary : Sylvie has planned so many weddings that she is now the most sought after Bridal Planner, however when one of her friends decides on ditching their groom three days before their wedding for one of her employees her whole world changes.

    Tom has just been left/dumped by his run away bride and now wants to confront the person who he would like to lay the blame on, Sylvie, especially since it was her employee. While hassling her at a meeting to go over the invoices that he needs to pay for the wedding, even though it never happened, sparks fly in more ways then one! Once the dusts settles they find they can't deny what is between them any longer, and they find themselves together in his bed.

    Afterwords, Tom leaves the country as he planned but can't get her out of his mind, while Sylvie finds out she's pregnant and plans for what will happen next, and it is all uphill for them miscommunications galore! Will the truth ever come out before it's too late?

    My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. Predictable but cute story! The good thing about it was that with all of the miscommunications between them it was written in a way that didn't make me feel like either character was annoying or make me not like one character because of how they could have acted.

    Book Teaser :
    "Tell me what he's seeing that's making him melt," Geena persisted.
    His gaze dropped to the unmistakable bulge where his baby was growing beneath her heart and, shattering the illusion, said, "Sackcloth and ashes would do it." Then, turning abruptly away, "Mark, have you got everything you need in here?" ~ within Chapter 4

    Made the Grade: Aspect of Crow Series, Novella 1

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 124 KB | Release Date: 2006 | Publisher: Harlequin Books

    "The Wild’s Call" [Aspect of Crow Series, Novella 1] by Jeri Smith-Ready

    My Book Summary : It's past 'the end of the world as we know it,' and for best friends Elysia and Darien that means fighting for their lives. Baltimore [and everywhere else in the world] is in ruins, money is non-existent so bartering is the only way to get by, that or stealing.

    However, past "mistakes" have lead them to drift apart for a while ..... Darien finds Elysia and tells her it's time to leave Baltimore and follow their Spirit animals. Yet, Elysia has trouble putting all her eggs into one wishing basket, she refuses to believe anything good could come from what Darien is asking. But once her life goes from worse to terrible, she goes along with him to find out the meaning is with these Spirit animals, and possibly see if they still have feelings for each other ....

    My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. Very cute! Good characters. This is a prequel story to the full Aspect of Crow series, and I'm definitely curious as to how the community they build will work out.

    Book Teaser :
    "It's not safe."
    She whipped out the knife out of her back pocket and waved it over her head. The jagged blade was still stained with Leo's blood. "I can take care of myself, remember?"
    "If you stay, you're an idiot."
    "And if I go with you, I'm a nutbag. I'll wait for a third option." ~ within Chapter 4

    Video Creation Programs Suck Sometimes

    Okay ... this is a ranting post since I'm having a hell of a time with what I'm doing so I thought I'd spill. I created a video using my usual software [Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8.0] and after getting it all set up ... the f***ing program is saying I can't create it. I've tried everything I can think of but nothing is working. GRRRRRRR!!!!!! So, tonight I'll give up for now .. let my computer cool off [since with the thunderstorm it was hot today] .. and HOPE that it'll load/create/save tomorrow. *crossing fingers* Please wish me luck!

    Since if not you won't be able to see the 2010 North Carolina Potato Festival's National Potato Peeling Contest Video(s). *sigh* That or I'll have to redo the video from scratch, which I'd rather not do if possible. =0P

    Also ... once I'm finished with this one [whether it saves or I give up], I am hoping to create and upload two other Potato Fest videos about the Lucky Duck Derby and MOA's Pirate activity! Therefore ... keep checking this blog or www.YouTube.com/FrommetoyouvideophotoBlogspot to see if they have been uploaded for viewing!

    Feasted On: Carnal Powers Series : Tales from Mystic Valley, Novella 1

    Format: On Author's Website | Pages: 33 | Release Date: UNKNOWN | Publisher: Freebies

    "Moonshine" [Carnal Powers Series : Tales from Mystic Valley, Novella 1] by Moira Rogers

    My Book Summary : After getting dumped by her human boyfriend Claire goes into a bar called Dos Culebras trying to awaken her wild side, if she has one. Once there Lars catches her eye, they start talking, and after awhile he seem open to help her out so they take a little Moonshine [a drink that is like a shifter aphrodisiac] in the back alley and go back to his place.

    However, after they get into the swing of things Lars wants to have her but only when she isn't intoxicated. It also doesn't help that Claire has never let her wild side out before so she doesn't know if it'll happen for her without assistance of Moonshine or alcohol.

    Will she be able to change her ways? Since she was raised a good girl will she even want to?

    My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars. For a really short story I did like it! The characters were great! And if I ever read the actual Carnal Powers Series then I'll be interested to see the parts they play in "Last Hope".

    My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Crossroads

    Book Teaser :
    He paused for a moment, then set down his bottle. "I know who you are, you know."
    It figured. Coyotes weren't rare, but there were only ten female coyotes in town compared to the fifty or so males. She turned her eyes back to the man and ran them over him in an assessing manner that bordered on insulting. "Really? Haven't seen you in any of my classes. You don't look like the college type."
    He just grinned, and the simple action transformed his face from broodingly dangerous to dangerously handsome. "Touchy bitch." ~ within Chapter 1
